This is a repo for solutions to Advent of Code. Advent of Code is an advent calendar with small, daily programming puzzles with a christmas-theme. Solving the puzzles will unlock a code which you use to progress and unlock the next challenges.
Challenges gets progressively harder as we get closer and closer to christmas day, but don't give up!
And remember - santa will be watching 🎅
Anyone at NEP with rudimentary programming skills (or who are eager to learn) and the ability to read are more than welcome to join!
Simply create a folder in the root directory with your name, and put your solutions and setup there. Use whatever programming language and environment you prefer. Feel free to copy the setups other people are using if you need help to get going.
A good idea is to create a branch for every daily challenge you solve.
Register at https://adventofcode.com/ with your GitHub-account, and then enter 459312-7760e63c as a code to join the leaderboard.
Once you have joined, you can view the leaderboard here and see your rank. In order to get the most stars, solve the challenges before anyone else does. Then you will collect more stars! 🌟🌟
The rules for the calendar itself are laid out here. Our only rule here is to have fun though, and to use the repo. If you just submit the codes at the website without showing us how you solved it, your score will be discarded.
Other than that, feel free to use any programming language you like (or solve the challenges in several even...), look at what others are doing and take inspiration and whatnot.
